Pathfinders Stem Kits Roman Catapult – Ancient Siege Engine Series | STEM Educational Wooden Kit for Kids & Adults | Build & Launch Model

This thing was a blast to build with my son. My son is 7 years old and we built it together for a fun activity. Then we setup fun obstacles and started blasting um down from 10-20 feet away! Fun stuff.

I sent this kit to my nine year old grandson. The kit's pieces are sturdy and well made. It was easy to put together. He has had hours of fun using the catapult.

This was relatively easy to put and so much fun for my son to play with! Great for staging battles with toy soldiers, wooden elephants, and even his plastic dragons.

I has to help a little, over all good, but it IS smaller than I expected.

This catapult was easy to assemble, and has worked fairly well. Some of the glue joints have not held up well and I started using some woodworkers glue instead of what they sent me. Otherwise seems fine.

Finally opened this to build with my boys and one of the pieces was broken. Thankfully I was able to contact the manufacturer who responded quickly and sent replacements for the broken piece to us! We've bought a lot of these in the past and they all have been amazing. I also wanted to give the folks at Pathfinders a shout out for having such awesome customer service. They sent me the part promptly and free of charge, along with a very kind hand-written note. Highly recommend this brand.

Built two of these as a project with kids ranging from 6-8 years old. It was a great hands on activity to get them off their ipads. They needed some help with understanding the steps, parts of the gluing and getting the twine tied properly. Once it was built the had hours of fun propelling marshmallows, chunks of bark and clay balls in the backyard. Very sturdy so far.

My 11 year old was able to assemble by himself and loved the power of the catapult.
